Need for English Speaking Buddy/Support/Mentoring Group

[Jenny_Expat]

Like many I am here in the Netherlands long term because of work and a native English speaker. This forum and the support groups are rightly set-up as Dutch-centric i.e. you need to be able to speak Dutch. I know there is also a group to support refugees, which is a group I don't belong to and I certainly wouldn't want to impose.

So I would like to test the waters and see if there are sufficient English (native) speaking or second language (before Dutch) transgenders here in the Netherlands to form a loose group for support, friendship and mentoring?

Maybe it's time to expand the forum with an English section...

In Amsterdam Trans Amterdam organizes some activities. However I'm not sure, I think English is also spoken there. See the website: https://www.transamsterdam.nl/cafe-inclusion . Please mind limitations due to the corona crisis.

@Jeste depends on who's there. Most of the time there are english speaking people too, but it's primarily dutch.

Now we have our own section, let's see who contributes or not.

Thanks!

[Hrafn]

Good idea!

Late reaction on my part. Good idea! I'm a native Dutch speaker but spend half my time in English

Would be happy to help unfortunately I can't travel atm but I'm open to a conversation through PM or something, prolly even a phone call, tho I think I have developed an accent over the years.

Great idea. I know some English speaking transguys who might like to join this group too. I like to think my English is good enough. I'd love to participate too.
